As a busy family, we are always seeking healthy, nutritious and quick meals…because when our kiddos are hungry, they let us know it! I keep snacks on hand in the car, in my diaper bag, and backpack so that I am prepared to hand out mandarin oranges, bananas, granola bars, squeeze pouches, and crackers at a moment’s notice to my little snackers! So when dinner time rolls around, as much as I would like to have spent my time preparing amazing meals, as I love to cook, I sometimes do not have the time or energy to do so after working all day and caring for my children.

Enter Viva La Mamma! This brand new line of fresh, refrigerated pasta from Fratelli Beretta has made quite a difference in our home! Two minutes and just like that…dinner is ready! In the two minutes it takes to microwave the main course of choice, I can cut up some fresh fruit, add organic yogurt to the plate, and have drinks on the table. We didn’t have time to hear ‘is my dinner ready yet’ as dinner was prepared that quickly! Win!

With 6 delightful, delish pasta dishes to choose from, Viva La Mamma uses only fresh, simple ingredients like tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, basil and ricotta cheese to make true authentic Italian pasta dishes. They are fresh, never frozen…and the difference is in the texture of the pasta, which is al dente, and the stand out flavors of the dishes.

Our kiddos clamored for more Amatriciana Ziti Pasta, as well as the Alfredo Ziti Pasta, and I loved the Pesto Fusilli Pasta! My hubby enjoyed the Bolognese Ziti Pasta. Additional dishes include Tomato & Ricotta Penne Pasta and Carbonara Penne Pasta. All are unique and very tasty! The dishes need to be kept refrigerated, and even come with a handy fork & spoon on the top of the box for meals on-the-go!
